Creating Digital Movies

Independent Digital Feature Production

by Malcolm Ferrier - Director of STOP

The Goal

STOP - A Film by Malcolm Ferrier To create an independent feature production studio by going through the process of making a sci-fi/action movie.

Although this website outlines the making of the digital feature STOP in a structured manner, keep in mind that the methods described here are the result of keeping what worked after trial and error and a long string of mistakes. In the first year and a half of making this movie, probably 70% of the time was spent dealing with technical problems. If you're interested in making a movie for next to nothing, hopefully these pages will help you to avoid some stumbling blocks. If not, it will at least give you some idea of what goes into the creation of an independent digital feature and, more specifically, STOP.
